The start of an epic new historical adventure series from Richard Cullen introducing The Black Lion
As war approaches, the lion will roar…
1213AD.
King Richard the Lionheart is dead, and his brother, John Lackland, sits uneasily upon the throne of England.
Across the sea, Prince Louis, heir to the powerful King Philip Augustus of France, looks to King John’s crown with a covetous eye.
But King John must be wary of rebellion, as well as invasion, for even his own barons would see their king unseated, and the French pretender put in his place.
Thrust amid this tumult is young Estienne Wace, orphan squire to Earl William Marshal – the greatest knight to ever serve the kings of England, and one of the few men who still holds faith in King John’s rule.
Raised by Marshal as his ward, Estienne must prove himself worthy of his adopted father’s name, but acceptance may be the least of his troubles. War is looming, as usurpers emerge from every quarter, determined to steal England’s crown from its most wretched king.
Perfect for the fans of Bernard Cornwell, Ben Kane and Conn Iggulden.
Historical fiction is a genre that always ignites my imagination. The Rebellion is set in medieval England and introduces the reader to Estienne Wace.
Estienne is an orphan who has to spend his life proving his worth. We follow his fortunes throughout the story. He is sent to Earl William, the marshall of England, and the best knight of christendom. He stays under the Earls tutelage until his death. Estienne’s life is about to change. Why? Even Estienne himself has no idea.
It’s definitely a novel you need to have an interest in history for. Vivid and at times brutal telling of a young boys life. I am a reader who thinks history is so intriguing, and Richard Cullen succeeded in keeping me hooked. He hasn’t held back with the details, and it makes a realistic read. The unstable times this is about is clearly described.
The Rebellion is a great new series about a time in history that was ruled by violence and power. I am definitely looking forward to the next book!
